PIX4659888: China - Yellow River Delta 1989 - China - Yellow River delta in 1989 - The Huang He is the second longest river in China and the most sediments-loaded river in the world. On his journey from Tibet, he erodes more than a million tons of sediments every year and takes on alluvial or his nickname the Yellow River. It flows into the Yellow Sea, via the Gulf of Bohai, where its delta extends over 36,000 km. Image obtained by the Landsat 5 satellite in 1989. China's Huang He (Yellow River) is the most sediment - filled river on Earth. In the lower reaches, where the current slows, the natural accumulation of sediment in the riverbed has caused the river to change course often in the past. Since the mid-nineteenth century, however, the lower reaches of the river and the delta have been extensively engineered to control flooding and to protect coastal development. This natural - color image from Nasa's Landsat 5 satellite shows the Yellow River Delta at the river mouth in 1989. In 1989, the river's main channel emptied into the Bohai Sea in a southeast - bending arc / Bridgeman Images
